-6- Unobstructed Airflow Unobstructed airflow to and fr om the unit is a critical factor in the unit’ s overall performance. Make s u r e there is a thr ee- foot horizontal clearance in the fr ont of the unit. This will assur e that the unit can move the air ar ound in an efficient manner . A void the attempt to camouflage the unit by installing [...]

-7- V entilation The necessity of dissipating heat away fr om the unit is critical to the unit’ s performance and cannot be overstated. As the unit operates and cools, a gr eater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit. Adequate ventilation is r equir ed in or der to dissipate heat away fr om the unit. If ventilation is inadeq[...]

-8- Cutting the hole for the WhisperKOOL unit Locate the center of the r oom. Using a stud finder , locate two adjacent studs in the walls, and mark them with vertical lines. Using a level and a pencil, mark a horizontal line on the wall between the two studs, appr oximately 1.25 inches (or as close as possible if mor e than 1.25”) fr om the ceil[...]

-9- Once the horizontal lines have been cut, make vertical cuts using the inside edge of the studs as a guide. Once you have made both vertical cuts, you should have a r ectangular hole in the sheetr ock. Now you have to make the same hole on the other side of the wall. Since you alr eady have one hole, this is an easy pr ocess. Using a nail, mark [...]
